Sorry I totally missed color-dark-p. I did not check faces.el and color-dark-p was in faces.el.

Having color-name-to-hsl is just a convenience function to make it easier when working in some

color spaces. Because some operations are easier in certain color spaces.

We already have color-dark-p (and color-name-to-rgb to complement it),
so I'm not sure I understand the rationale for these functions.  Can
you explain more why you needed them?
